The Space Race: What Was the Space Race, How Two Countries Raced to the Moon Explained for Kids - Couverture souple
Livre 4 sur 10: Space Exploration & Missions for Young Readers
Synopsis
The Space Race was one of the most dramatic competitions in history — a fifteen-year contest between the United States and the Soviet Union to conquer space, claim new milestones, and prove which nation's system of government was superior. The Space Race tells the full story for middle grade readers, from the shock of Sputnik in 1957 through Yuri Gagarin's historic orbit, Alan Shepard's first American spaceflight, and Kennedy's bold promise to reach the moon before the decade was out. Readers will meet the brilliant and complicated engineers who built the rockets — Wernher von Braun in America and the secretive Sergei Korolev in the Soviet Union — and follow both programs through triumphs and tragedies: the death of three Apollo astronauts in a launch pad fire, the fatal Soyuz 1 crash, the Soviet spacewalk that nearly killed Alexei Leonov, and the American Gemini program that methodically mastered every skill the moon mission would require. The book covers the desperate final push of 1968 and 1969 — Apollo 8 orbiting the moon on Christmas Eve, the Soviet N1 rocket exploding on its launch pad — before arriving at the moment the race was decided: Neil Armstrong stepping onto the lunar surface on July 20, 1969. A final chapter explores what came after — the remaining Apollo landings, Skylab, the Apollo-Soyuz handshake in orbit, and the lasting legacy of a competition that transformed technology, education, and humanity's understanding of its place in the universe. Accurate, detailed, and written with the full drama the subject deserves, this book is an ideal introduction to Cold War history, space science, and the people who made the Space Age possible, for readers ages 9 to 12.
